An Unwarranted Vow!
The lack of seasoned writing is evident throughout the film as the story and its characters struggle to be consistent. The pivotal character of the film is Varadaraj, a Kanchipuram-based silk saree weaver who has a great legacy that he carries around with pride. But it is the same character who is seen being baseless and out-of-line funny in some scenes and that for sure ends up confusing the audience.(more)

Sivakumarin Sabadham is a drama that wants to be a comedy
Your feelings towards Sivakumarin Sabadham will depend on how much you are able to go with Hiphop Tamizha's decision to use a premise with potential for intense drama to narrate a light-hearted film about family and relationships. While there are times when it is refreshing to see situations never getting too serious, this also makes us to not take anything that happens in the film seriously.(more)

well-intentioned, but not well-executed.
In addition, the comedy portions don't work for the major part of the film and it might come as a disappointment for a section of the audience. At the same time, the emotional sequences also don't lend solid support as it looks flat, lacking effective staging and execution(more)

A watchable entertainer
The first half of the film is more of a generic youthful entertainer with colorful romance, songs, comedy, and family sentiment. Only the second half gets more into a serious zone with Sivakumar starts working towards his goal and takes up his grandad�s silk weaving business and tastes the success in the end. (more)

Refreshing changes save an age-old narrative
Another pleasant surprise was how SKS questions the male ego. Tamil cinema loves its sabadhams (promises). It loves heroes who uphold these 'vows' no matter how impractical they are. SKS takes another sensible, much-needed stance where it admits that these vow games are just fuel for the ego.(more)
